Purpose To describe a case of immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related dacyroadenitis presenting as bilateral chorioretinal folds from eyeball compression by massively enlarged lacrimal glands. Observations A 51-year-old woman with severely enlarged bilateral lacrimal glands was diagnosed as having IgG4-related dacryoadenitis. The glands strongly compressed the globes, forming chorioretinal folds res...

Purpose To investigate the potential role of ranibizumab treatment on the development or enlargement of chorioretinal atrophy (CRA) at the posterior pole in eyes with myopic choroidal neovascularization (mCNV). Methods This observational case series included patients having high myopia spherical equivalent refractive error ≥ -6.00 diopters, axial length (AxL) ≥ 26.0 mm in both eyes, and mCNV ...

PURPOSE To evaluate fundus shape in highly myopic eyes using color maps created through optical coherence tomography (OCT) image analysis. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 182 highly myopic eyes from 113 patients. After obtaining 12 lines of 9-mm radial OCT scans with the fovea at the center, the Bruch's membrane line was plotted and its curvature was measured at 1-µm intervals in each im...

The scrA gene coding for sucrose EnzymelI of the phosphoenolpyruvate dependent phosphotransferase system previously isolated from Streptococcus mutans was fused in vitro to the promoterless lacZ" gene to monitor the expression of the scrA gene. The scrA :: lacZ gene fusion was introduced back into S. mutans GS-5IS3 by two independent transformation procedures involving either linear or plasmid ...

Chorioretinal folds are a rare presentation of a meningioma. We report a case of a meningioma with chorioretinal folds as its initial presentation. A 39-year-old female patient complained of progressive blurring of the right eye. A fundus examination of the right eye revealed chorioretinal folds. Magnetic resonance imaging found a tumor mass involving the right orbit and right anterior middle c...

AIM: To conduct a classification study of high myopic maculopathy (HMM) using limited datasets, including tessellated fundus, diffuse chorioretinal atrophy, patchy and macular minimize annotation costs, to optimize the ALFA-Mix active learning algorithm apply it HMM classification. METHODS: The optimized (ALFA-Mix+) was compared with five algorithms, ALFA-Mix. Four models, ResNet18, were establ...

ABSTRACT Purpose: to analyze the results of neonatal hearing screening examinations in newborns with and without microcephaly, exposed Zika virus, other risk indicators for loss, verify association between results, sample characteristics, gestational trimester when exposure took place. Methods: a descriptive cross-sectional study. Subjects included study had no indicator loss than presented, al...

Chorioretinal folds may occur as a consequence of hypotony and can be a cause of vision loss when associated with macular involvement. In this report, the spectral domain ocular coherence tomography imaging of three patients with chorioretinal folds before and after management are presented. The cases had unique presentations and each underwent different management approaches, but the results i...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether bifocal and prismatic bifocal spectacles could control myopia in children with high rates of myopic progression. METHODS This was a randomized controlled clinical trial. One hundred thirty-five (73 girls and 62 boys) myopic Chinese Canadian children (myopia of > or =1.00 diopters [D]) with myopic progression of at least 0.50 D in the preceding year were randomly...
